Gore copper cable assembly is SFF-8431 compliant

WL Gore and Associates

10m SFP+ copper cable assembly

Gore and Associates has developed a 10m SFP+ copper cable assembly that is fully compliant with the SFF-8431 Revision 4.1 specification.

Gore's SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) offering can go 3 to 5m longer than other passive options and provides a lower cost alternative to power-consuming and heat-generating SFP+ transceiver modules.

In comprehensive internal testing, Gore is the only cable assembly vendor who has demonstrated this use length while still complying with the SFF specification for 10Gb/sec (10GbE, 10FCoe).

Through the use of Gore Eye-Opener+ Conductor Technology and a low loss expanded PTFE cable dielectric, Gore is able to balance the dWDP and VMA loss parameters to achieve results within the specification limits of SFF-8431.

Gore has demonstrated typical values for VMA loss of 3.95dBe and a dWDP of 5.60dBe.

The SFF-8431 specification calls out maximum limits of 4.40 and 6.75, respectively.

Gore's proprietary expanded PTFE is branded as Gore-Tex in the fabrics market.
